Option 2: AR request
Option 3: piggybacking
Option 4: piggy framing
Correct Answer: piggybacking
Solution : The correct answer is piggybacking.
Piggybacking is a data transfer technique that attaches the acknowledgement for a received data frame to the following outgoing data frame. This saves bandwidth by eliminating the need to send a separate acknowledgement frame. It is often employed in sliding window protocols, which allow numerous data frames to be broadcast without waiting for acknowledgements for each frame.
